I picked this Flame Sword up on Friday (couldn't help myself) I've wanted a tall plant for my tank and this is definitely tall. It's kind of like cheating when you purchase a plant that's grown this much already and you didn't do the work, but swords don't do very well in low light! The reason I think I will be able to keep it alive is because all the leaves are already at the top of my 36gal, so there getting the most light! Another thing that is unfortunate is that it will probably change color to all green leaves instead of the red spotted ones the Flame Swords are known for in lower light conditions.
My 36gal is only 0.5WPG, so this should be interesting! For $5 bucks I couldn't pass up the challenge. The only other thing I plan to do is try a root tab under it in the gravel after it's been in the tank a week or two..
It's 20" tall and 12" wide by the way!! :headbang2:
